When the White House claims that McClellan is disgruntled, they're missing the huge point: 81% of America is disgruntled. They're on his side.

Less an interview than a failed effort to get Scott McClellan to acknowledge that he was being used by the Bush Haters, Bill O'Reilly was man-handled by McClellan.

McClellan's excuse of "I was just doing my job" is no more a valid defense now than it was at Nuremberg -- and I don't remember anyone there being sentenced to a lucrative book deal.

Why did the mainstream media have to be complicit in protecting the concocted story of McClellan deciding to leave the White House on his own?
